SOLUTION: Magic Mouse 2 Pair with Windows 10 on BootCamp

Your solution doesn't work at all. The only workaround is:

1. Launch macOS.
2. Remove Magic Mouse 2 from Bluetooth device.
3. Launch Windows.
4. Pair Magic mouse 2.

When you want to use Magic Mouse on macOS, you have to add to Bluetooth device again.

If you don't remove Magic Mouse 2 on macOS beforehand, it will never be recognized on Windows. Sometimes you can see Magic Mouse 2 (or as "Magic Mouse") when you search Bluetooth device. But it will always fail with yellow error message.

I spent about 10 hours on this issue. And finally fixed it. I have a MacBook 12" and installed Windows (Bootcamp). I started with Mac and - of course - installed the Magic Mouse 2 right away. But I did not get used to it, so I installed Windows 10, which felt fine, but was not able to pair the Magic Mouse.

This will be the obvious sequence of things for many of us. However, as others already mentioned, the MacBook seems to "remember" settings when you change from OS to Windows and vice versa. When the device is paired in Mac/OS, it somehow seems to be occupied when you look at it in Windows.

After all troubleshooting, I did the following:

Windows
Remove all settings which relate to the mouse in the Bluetooth menu

Go to Device Manager and remove the magic mouse under the Bluetooth chapter

Restart and press OPTION button, to change to Mac/OS

Mac OS

Remove all settings which refer to the Magic Mouse in the Bluetooth menu in OS

Restart again and boot in Windows

Under Windows, add the mouse as a new Bluetooth device. As Windows nor Mac does remember anything anymore, it will install the mouse as a new device and it works instantly. And keeps working after reboot.

I have removed mouse in OSX as described, removed in Windows, rebooted Windows, added new bluetooth mouse in Windows. Sure enough, mouse started to work. However, it ceases to work after about 2 minutes of use. I have repeated this three times. Any ideas?

Hi Jake,

Getting this exact issue also.

Mac OS High Sierra and Windows 10.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Mouse connects in Windows 10 bluetooth settings and then ceases to work after about 10-15 seconds?

Have tried removing from OS X and then re-adding in Windows but still persists.

Any help appreciated.

Conor

Conor,

No Conor, I see the problem all over the internet, but never a solution. I ended up loading Parallels. It runs great, so much better than it did six or seven years ago when I last tried it.

Good Luck, Jack

I only have a Magic Mouse 2. I used to use a Dell Bluetooth mouse and that had no problem except it was fagly and heavy.

I looked into Windows Device Manager and found out that deleting Magic Mouse under Bluetooth device means nothing because it will be restored when rescanned. I think Apple Bootcamp does something between macOS and Windows.

It's Microsoft driver running on Microsoft Bluetooth Emulator. Magic Keyboard is also using Microsoft driver but works OK. However, it takes a while (5-15 seconds) to be recognized by Windows. This is a known issue but relatively minor.

I am currently using an iMac 2017 model. Even though the Windows update fixed the problem with the keyboard I was still having issues with the mouse.

The solution I found was to make sure the mouse is synced in MacOS and then to power it off when it restarts and power it back on only when Windows has completely loaded.

But VERY importantly you need to power off the mouse just when MacOS has exited and Windows is about to start. If you power off the mouse while MacOS is still restarting it won't work. Basically the MacOS shouldn't know you have powered off the mouse. You need to time it correctly.

I just found a really simple solution many have looked over, just use any old USB PC mouse. This way you don't have to mess around with deleting and re finding devices. If you don't have one you can pick it up for next to nothing in thrift stores, (no drivers needed) oh, and a keyboard (too because it won't recognize the BT keyboard either).

I had this issue previously and seemed to be resolved by changing Bluetooth Collaboration to "Enable" in device manager and also turning off “Allow the computer to run off this device to save power” for Bluetooth Radio in Device Manager as outlined here:

However since the latest Windows update 1803 the Bluetooth mouse no longer connects in Windows or drops out after 2-3 seconds.

Has anyone found a resolution to this problem as it is very frustrating?

Looks like this could be a issue anytime a Windows update is released.

Problem Bootcamp Windows 10 & Bluetooth

Check that

• Bluetooth and WiFi Collaboration are enabled and
• Windows is not allowed to turn off the device to save power.

You should also

• Check BT/WiFI collaboration
• Check BT Power Management, specifically disallowing devices to be turned off to save power

I had tried another way is easier.

Turn off magic mouse in MacOS before rebooting to windows. Then turn it on in windows.

sorry ! this is the right answer .

Turn off and turn on magic mouse in windows 2 - 4 times until it detects the mouse.
